It's apparently the new ranking system. Please, change your thread title to "Achronos, please explain the new stuff to us?" or something so we get a good response without having to make another thread :D
Whats up with WhiteRaven119's member rank? I thought there was only normal ''Member'' then ''Heroic'' then ''Legendary'', but he has ''Webcam MVP'' explanation please.
EDIT: Also it seems that Reiginko had ''Mythic'' rank.

Mourne not your comrades who must dwell / too strong to strive -
Within each steel-bound coffin of a cell, / Buried alive;
But rather mourne the apathetic throng / The cowed, and the meek -
Who see the world’s great anguish and its wrong / And dare not speak.

Lukems wasn't the Content Gorilla, as far as I remember. I could be wrong about that however. Avius Custos is Jeremiah, our beloved retired playlist manager and Optimatch overlord. He doesn't have any official relationship with Bungie anymore as far as I know, but his current job isn't as far removed from the Bungie family as it might seem.

Webcam MVP means that the member performed well in the recently suspended webcam trivia games.

I respect your opinion, I'm probably just going to disagree with it.

Emotional Support. Oh dear. Let us pray we haven't attracted his attention.

I quite like this new system, but I'm not particularly bothered by it. I reckon its just a tool for Ninjas and so-on to know who's who, or something.

  • 12.19.2007 2:19 AM PDT

It IS as bad as you think and they ARE out to get you.

I think Frankie is Content Gorilla.

Edit: It s is Content Monkey

there are additional member titles.

Nothing to be alarmed about.

Content Monkey, Assassin of Dreams, Certain Affinity Guy, Theme Master, Avius Custos, Emotional Support, Webcam MVP, Management Overhead, the list goes on.


I probably have got around 50 PMs asking me what the hell Webcam MVP means and how did I get it. Almost every day I log in I have a message asking me about it. That or some random person calling me a noob idiot.

I should note that in the above list from Recon, only 2 of those titles are for "normies" like us: Theme Master and Webcam MVP. All the other ones have access far beyond what I do.

Because (in the end) that is what technical support really ends up being.

Originally, the Soul was damned to eternal tech support duty.


So the Soul has abit of free time now? What does it get up to? ........... apart from having the occasional tea party with Ling Ling

Old school Bungie, born and raised,
In the Septagon is where I spend most of my days.
Relaxin', maxin', posting all cool,
Talking about Halo, life and some school.
Got in one little argument, and the mods got scared,
they said "You're gonna get banned and your member title'll be bare!"

Fine, I'll stop calling you that, though I'm still pretty irked about you getting me killed during the MvM game.

Certain Affinity Guy and Avius Custos are user level accounts too (I think). But they have contacts, friends in high places, I sure wouldn't want to mess with them.


Hmmm...I think NOF still has special colored text. I don't think Shishka does. But yeah, either way I wouldn't want to mess with either of them since they still have spare keys to the kingdom. I wonder if the theme masters get bugged about their title/avatar?

Don't worry Prommie...I blocked you a long time ago =D

Because your evidentally heroic. I guess your worth dieing for and were not...........



jk, I'm almost certain it has something to do with the new ranking system and its based off how much you post/spend time on forums. It also has to do with if your getting blocked by other players. Basically its a rank for these forums like exp in Halo 3 is. You post more, you'll get promoted like you did.

Non facete nobis calcitrare vestrum perinæum.

I don't think the system needs an explination. Be nice, be helpfull, and don't do anything against the rules and mabey the gods of Bungie will smile down on you.

It's really no issue at all in my eyes.

What amuses me is the inevitable fuss that springs up following the 'discovery' of the thing; mostly by individuals whom seem unlikely to be affected.

It's obvious elitism exists on the Bungie.net forum, but it's existence has little to do with the titles next to an individual's avatar. Elitism, at least in any form worth complaining about, doesn't really care for labels as it's existence and power is drawn from the fact that those individuals whom make up the 'elite' share common goals and all work towards a shared ideal. Furthermore, the communication between such individuals is nothing if it fails to influence or at least occasionally result in the exercise of real power.

I could go on, but bearing the simple observations above in mind I doubt it is beyond the capacity of any mind to grasp how and why elitism is here to stay at Bungie.net and, equally, why resistance to it is a monumental waste of effort.

In short, if the new system truly offends someone then they are probably best writing eloquent and witty essays explaining why the deployment of the thing will surely result in all kinds of mayhem and, if it is well written enough, they will only warm the hearts of the Masters (any opportunity to indulge in verbose and pointless debate is always keenly received). On the other hand, offended types also run the risk of being exposed as intellectually void or, in any case, inferior, and as such will be verbally destroyed by 'greater minds'.

Either way, if one can refrain from rude or inappropriate language, it's all quite fun.

The system is irrelevant. Bungie.net and the Masters of Bungie.net have never made a secret of their goals. They are to be Lords of all they survey and those residents whom choose to visit the online playground they have provided will abide the rules of the Masters or be banished.... perhaps for eternity.

That is the nature of this beast. Enjoy.

Anyone but Foman. He smells like cheese.

Chomsky, you seem a bit... hmm... disenchanted..... :-P

As you intimate, I hope that most of the people here keep in mind that, at the end of the day, BNet is entertainment and nothing more.

All in all, you're right, but since you appear to have a grasp on the concept, I was hoping that you would point out that "elitism" is a misnomer and the most misused word on these forums. It should instead be phrased "forum arrogance" and, in some cases, "vicarious forum arrogance." But somehow whenever I use those terms, they never seem to catch on. ;-)
